"What AFV's for GZG's Ixx & Crusties...?" Topic

So Im considering investing in both races for the upcoming "Tomorrows War" rules but I want some AFV's to go along with them which is a bit of a dilemma due to their uniqueness.

For the Cruties, since they look like they could have come from a water based world, I was thinking maybe the Khurasan's Pelagic vehicles:

The Ixx are a bit tougher. Any ideas/thoughts?

Jon has just released a Crustie's Mecha. I use Kravak vehicles for my bugs.

Thanks,

For the Ixx I always wanted a flying disk but one never appeared that I liked. One day maybe.

For my Ixx/Krystalian force I am using two Makhariba Walkers from Infinity:

they are 28mm figs, but multilegged smooth-hulled spider tanks are tough to come by!

Eventually I am adding a Khurasan Dictator as the Core vehicle (Rather than using it in a Mekanoid Army).

I have a platoon of GZG Guncrabs that I'm going to use for the Crusties. Other than dressing up the guns a bit I think they're perfect right out of the box.

For the Ixx, what about the Khurasan Dictator?

I'm kind of partial to this brute for an Ixx walker:

Hypothetically a smaller scale, but it's large enough to work with 15mm. Make a decent stablemate for those Infinity walkers Warlock mentioned and the larger Dictator (when it comes out) too.

I imagine that Ixx vehicles would do away with conventional hatches and use rear ramps for entry.

AFV? As in "America's Funniest Videos"?

Maybe something like this:

For my Ixx forces, I'm not using APCs exactly, but am using the DP9 Caprice Combat Mount walkers for armor.

I reason that the vehicles contain a 'pilot grub' which is a lot smaller than the normal 'soldier caste' bugs used for infantry.

@John Leahy, Oh I plan on a Mecha or two!

@Thor, those are pretty awesome, how do they compare in size to the Ixx?

@clkeagle I'm using GZG gungcrabs w/ my Critical Mass Mekanoid Army! Same with the Khurasan Dictator! ;-)

@Battle Works & Zemantus, those DP9 models are gorgeous (though pricey!). The size always throws me off though. Do you guys have any painted up with 15mm minis for comparison?

Thanks all for the great suggestions so far.

Here's a pic of a Heavy Gear Strider next to some 15mm Spugs courtesy of JRacel:

Astranagant, most helpful! Thank you!

If I can ask, who are the fellows in red with the blue eyes behind the Spugs?

25mm Spug power armor, I believe.

Thanks Starfury! I finally found them on the Spug homepage. Cool little bugs they are indeed.

Though the DP9 are some expensive s I will probably use a few crab walkers for my Ixx. Thanks for the numerous suggestions Lads.
